United World College of the Atlantic

"Since opening in 1962, the United World College of the Atlantic has shone as a beacon for international education. So far more than 7,500 young people from over 100 countries have benefited from this extraordinary experience.

"The first of 12 United World Colleges now found on every continent, Atlantic College was founded by educationist Kurt Hahn to engage young people from all nations in finding peaceful means to bring together a world divided by political, racial and socio-economic barriers.

"Like its fellow colleges in Bosnia, Canada, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Norway, Singapore, Swaziland, USA, Venezuela, it remains committed to fostering international understanding at a lifestage where young adults are open to exploring radical possibilities."

"Lord Montbatten became the first president of the International Council of the United World Colleges in 1965. He was succeeded by his great nephew, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, in 1978. In 1995 Prince Charles passed the title to Nelson Mandela, the President of South Africa."
